Curious is it possible to have Clrmame scan my snap folder and list missing, name changed snap etc? if not Roman would this be something you would be interested in adding??

Thanks!

Sure it's possible. Get the snaps, flyers, etc. datfiles from my page and scan ;)

Hey Roman Thanks!

O.K. I just wanted to check the snaps so I d/l'd the snap dat for mame32 (don't see one for regular mame, I am using a front end. Now do I set clrmame when using this dat, do I set the snap up as a rom path, add path, etc.? I don't know how to tell clrmame where to look for the files.

I tried using the "rom path" and adding the folder but then I get the files shown as unneeded. If I use only the add path I get them all as missing.

Sorry to be a bother but I really would like to learn to do this. ;-)

Thanks!

The snap set is a Mame32 addition, so that's why the file is for Mame32.

If you have the snaps zipped up in your \snap directory (snap.zip), set your Rom-Path to the \snap directory. If you have them as seperate .png files (i.e. unzipped), set the Rom-Path to your Mame directory.

be aware of the 2 supported scanmodes:

[rompath]\[setname]\[rom 1 ... rom n] for unzipped sets
[rompath]\[setname].zip for zipped sets

So look at the dat and check the used setname and setup a rompath correctly.
